Cruise horror stories

[Non sequitur]

Time for a Titanic sequel. What could possibly go wrong on a ship with a bunch of strangers.

First mistake is forcing them to remain on board, they are turning the vessel into a floating incubator.

Carnival as name as new ship

The Dumb and Dumber Royale

I was actually checking prices the other day just to see what kind of deals I could get out of this. At this point I could care less about the risk of exposure to covid-19 because the way things are going that's gonna happen regardless. My only concern would be getting quarantined on the ship, although as long as the cruise line is footing the bill, that might not be so bad.

The appeal of cruises must be a generational thing. Older folks I know love and go on them all the time.

I think of cruises as floating pestilence incubators and would rather do vacations any other way.

You've clearly never been on a Carnival cruise, especially the party boats out of FLA. Definitely a younger crowd.

I imagine it’s sorta like Fox News viewers or Bernie voters. Sure, there’s a few who are older or younger. LOL

It depends on the cruise line and the itinerary. Carnival and Royal Caribbean draw a younger crowd, Disney is more family-oriented, Princess and Holland America skew older. Celebrity is for anyone with deep pockets.

Never been on one and no desire.
Never use public transportation either.
Stay the hell out of urban areas.

You're on a boat in the middle of the water.
I can think of possible solutions.

There is a good reason why bathrooms are called The Head on vessels.

Yawn, Carnival Freedom at port (Grand Turk, I think). A year ago?

I came to the conclusion that if you get one block away from anything touristy on those "tropical" islands you are in some 3rd world box.

Yes.

Especially the drive from the Bahamas main airport....

It's about an hour of pure depression and misery.

Makes the trailers and shacks of Louisiana and Mississippi luxurious....

You begin to wonder where all the money goes while eating that $50 breakfast.

New polls show that Carnival Cruises should be avoided.
